Chapter 148 Yihuan Accompanying
At the Fourth Prince's mansion, Yihuan was packing her bags. The Emperor had issued an order to inspect the frontier areas, and the Prince of Zhi, the Crown Prince, Yinzhen, the Eighth Prince, the Ninth Prince, the Thirteenth Prince, the Fourteenth Prince, and their younger brothers were all going to accompany her.

Except for this generation, the younger generation Hongxi, Hongjin and Honghui were specifically named by Kangxi to be taken away, and the rest of the imperial grandchildren were not able to take this trip.

The auspicious day calculated by the Imperial Astronomical Observatory was five days later. Although there was five days to prepare, Yihua still felt that time was a little tight.

Fortunately, this was not the first time that Yinzhen had accompanied the emperor on his trips in recent years, and the number of increases and decreases was about the same as in the past.

When Yinzhen returned to the mansion and saw Yihuan was busy, he went to see the children first. Liuliu was in Xiaolang's room, the two of them were having a lot of fun and didn't even notice Yinzhen's appearance.

Liuliu found Yinzhen, she looked up and smiled sweetly at him: "Father, mother said you are going to a very far place, can Liuliu go with you?"

"Liuliu is still young. When you grow up to be as old as your big brother, Dama will take you out, okay?" Yinzhen coaxed her.

Liuliu was a good kid. She nodded and continued to ask, "Can mom go? Mom is older than big brother."

Yinzhen seemed to be thinking about something and did not answer. He picked her up and held her high, then touched the little wolf's head and went to the main courtyard.

Yuxue had prepared the water and Yihuan was washing her hands. When she saw Yinzhen coming in, she smiled wickedly and swung her wet hands at Yinzhen a few times. The experienced Yinzhen had already dodged them.

"You're already the mother of several children, yet you're still so naughty. Liuliu just takes after you." Yinzhen smiled and took the handkerchief to slowly wipe Yihuan's fingers.

"Are all the things for the trip ready?" Yinzhen asked.

Yihuan nodded: "It's basically done. I'll check it with Eunuch Su tomorrow. Is there anything you want to add?"

"Come to think of it, Yihuan, do you want to go beyond the Great Wall?" Yinzhen asked.

"What? Really? Can I go?" Yihuan realized what Yinzhen was saying and was so happy that she wanted to jump up.

In recent years, when Kangxi went on tours, Yinzhen often accompanied him, but he either did not bring anyone with him or brought princesses and concubines with him. This was the first time he mentioned that he could go with him.

"Do you really want to go?" Yinzhen asked back.

Yihuan said longingly, "I have lived in the capital since I was a child. The farthest place I have been to is the outskirts of the capital. I have never been to a place as far as the Great Wall. If I could go with them and watch the scenery along the way, it would be very refreshing just thinking about it."

"Okay, let's prepare together. I'll take you there." Yinzhen replied. This was actually not a difficult task.

Yihua was happy for a while, but suddenly thought of the children: "What about Liuliu and Xiaolang?"

"They are too young. Not to mention the dust on the journey, the constant changes in climate and soil will make their lives ugly if they can't adapt. Send the children to Yonghe Palace. The Queen loves them both very much and will not treat them unfairly." Yinzhen had obviously thought about this matter a long time ago.

Yihuan hesitated for a moment. She was not worried that Concubine De would treat the children badly. She might be more partial to the Fourteenth Prince and his children, but as a grandmother, she still had some kindness. "Xiaolang is still young, and Liuliu is not old either. Will they feel that we have abandoned them?" Yihuan was a little worried. The children had been by her side since they were born and had never left her side. The thought of being separated for a few months made Yihuan feel a little uncomfortable.

"Don't worry, just coax her into giving it a try. Go and get ready, okay?" Yinzhen patted Yihuan's shoulder.

Because Yinzhen proposed to take his wife with him, the ninth prince, the thirteenth prince and the fourteenth prince all responded and changed their decisions temporarily.

The next day, the Ninth, Thirteenth and Fourteenth Concubines made an appointment to talk to Yihuan.

The Fourteenth Lady was the most excited. As soon as she entered the room, she hugged Yihua's arm and shook it: "It's all thanks to Fourth Sister-in-law, otherwise our Master wouldn't have thought of taking me out to relax."

"Fourth sister-in-law, I am young and inexperienced. Please tell us what we need to prepare." The smile on Fourteenth Lady's face never stopped.

The Ninth Lady nodded and agreed, "It's thanks to the Fourth Sister-in-law. The Ninth Master said that the Fourth Uncle specially sent someone to say it yesterday. But our Master is kind and gentle to women, and he has a younger sister traveling with him."

"Ah?" The Fourteenth Concubine was a little surprised. The Ninth Prince did this without giving the Ninth Concubine any face at all.

"Everyone must have heard that our master fell in love with a Han girl who sold herself to bury his father. He has been brought into the mansion. I thought it was just a temporary novelty, but who knew that he really took it to heart and followed her wherever he went." The Ninth Concubine said this with a cold look in her eyes. She could not care about the Ninth Prince's favor, but if she didn't even have basic respect, then what was the point of her being the Ninth Concubine?
Shi Huan really didn't know much about this. Yinzhen wasn't the type to gossip about his brother's bedroom affairs, so this was the first time she heard about this.

"It's just one more person serving you. What does it have to do with others?" Yihuan said soothingly and kept the matter in her heart. In Yihuan's heart, the Ninth Prince has always been a man who knows how to advance and retreat. Even if he dotes on another woman, he has never embarrassed the Ninth Concubine in public. This woman must be no simple person.

******
Five days passed quickly. The children were sent to Yonghe Palace in advance. Yihuan burst into tears when she turned to leave. She suddenly felt that she was an irresponsible mother who threw her children to others for the sake of momentary happiness.

Honghui followed Yihuan and saw that she looked depressed, so he quickly comforted her: "Mother, don't worry, Mam will take good care of the brothers and sisters. Since my son can remember, mother has never left the capital. I work hard for the children every day. Take this opportunity to have a good rest. Liuliu and Xiaolang will understand."

Yihua looked at Honghui, holding back her tears, feeling satisfied: "Mother has you, Liuliu and Xiaolang, which is the greatest blessing for mother."

Honghui was a little surprised that his mother didn't mention Ama, so he added, "There is also Ama."

Yihuan lowered her head and replied, "Yes, and your father as well."

In order to set out at the time calculated by the Imperial Observatory, Yihuan got up early, put on her clothes and makeup in a daze. She thought she could take a car out of the city right away, but the sun that was expected to come out was lazy and did not come out from behind the clouds.

Now the situation is very bad. The main force can only wait. Yihuan is fine as she can have a leisurely breakfast in the Prince's Mansion. Yinzhen and others can only follow behind the imperial sedan and wait, as they cannot leave.

In this way, half a day passed, and the sun finally rose amid the eager anticipation of everyone in the Imperial Observatory. The director wiped the sweat off his forehead and felt that his head was saved.

Kangxi led a huge army and officially set out, and the journey to the frontier began.
